I just got a new telescope, can't wait to take some pics. [/quote] Yes, I remember Hale Bopp very well. It was so cool to be abel to see it with the naked eye just hanging there in the nighttime sky. I remember thinking what much earlier man thougth when they would see such a thing. I look forward to see this one. God willing it will dazel us all. [/quote]

A 17th mag. comet in the constellation of Cancer that was discovered last week and confirmed and announced today:
2012 S1 ISON (an observatory project name, not a person).
This comet will pass the sun in November, 2013 and then approach even closer to earth by Dec. 29th 2013
The projected magnitude of this comet on November 29 is going to be nearly
MINUS 7 (-7.0).
Hale Bopp, according to Wikipedia, made it up to a magnitude of +2 and it was quite bright!
-7 is crazy bright.
This will be a history maker.
